Summary

In this panel
session we will
discuss approaches
to data curation
for data reuse,
with particular
emphasis on the
contextual
information needed
for reuse. We
invite three
panelists to
present
perspectives from
communities that
are 1) conducting
scholarly research
in the area of
data reuse, 2)
performing data
curation and
preservation work,
and 3) educating
information
professionals.
Given the shared
interests among
the three
communities, one
of the major
objectives of the
panel session is
to deepen the
engagement and
connection among
these groups. We
have planned
interaction with
the audience to
integrate the
panelistsí
different
perspectives and
approaches,
outline common
objectives, and
explore ways we
might create a
common agenda in
the area of data
curation for data
reuse.
